Weather Briefing

IFR

Ordu–Giresun Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 700 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 9 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 11:00Z and 14:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ordu–Giresun Airport

Overview

Ordu–Giresun Airport serves the northeastern coastal region of Turkey, located at an elevation of 11 ft MSL near the Black Sea. The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Ordu and Giresun provinces, connecting the region to broader Turkish and international air networks.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions, with 74.3% of observations showing clear flying weather. The airport experiences a moderate temperature range from -2°C to 29°C, with an average of 13.5°C. Prevailing southwest winds at 6.6 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions, with calm periods occurring in 22.1% of observations.

Notable Features

The single runway 10/28 stretches 9,848 feet and is constructed of asphalt, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather conditions, though the historical data demonstrates consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles with no recorded significant fog events.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 4.8 knots. Pilots will find the most consistent VFR conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), which statistically present the most stable flying weather for arrivals and departures.
